I Stayed At Home For A Century, When I Emerged I Was Invincible

Bring Chu Yuan back?

Chu Xuan could not help but shake his head. If Chu Yuan really came back, it was unlikely that things would end well for him.

It would be strange if Chu Tianming did not curse him to death instead.

Qin Keyun naturally did not dare to make things difficult for him, but the Chu family's situation was naturally quite awkward because of this.

He sent an order to Wan Chang and instructed him to reject this commission.

"You won't accept it?"

Chu Tianming was stunned. This was the first time he had encountered a situation where the Black Moon Tower did not accept a commission.

"Why not? It shouldn't be too difficult for you to capture someone. Your Black Moon Tower won't even accept such a simple mission?"

Wan Chang said indifferently, "Brother Chu, we can accept it. It's just that your Chu family can't afford it. I'm doing this for your own good."

"My Chu family can't afford it?"

Chu Tianming laughed angrily, "It's just a request to capture a person, and the target is a direct descendant of my Chu family. No matter how strong he may have become, there's no way he's surpassed the void realm. Why can't my Chu family afford it?"

The first thing that came to mind was that the Chu family was being ostracized, and that even the Black Moon Tower did not value the Chu family and treated them lightly.

Chu Yuan's talent was indeed outstanding, but how long had it been?

At best, he had broken through to the void realm.

How could the Chu family not be able to afford to commission a simple request like this?

Wan Chang sighed and said, "If you insist on going forward with it, we can accept it. The price is an emperor-level weapon."

"What?! Emperor-level weapon?"

Chu Tianming's eyes widened. Was it because the Black Moon Tower was too black-hearted, or was it because Wan Chang himself was too black-hearted?

In the entire Southern Region, there were only a few forces that might have Emperor-level weapons, but the Chu family was definitely not one of them.

On the other hand, the head of the Qin family, Qin Keyun, controlled an Emperor-level weapon. He did not know where it came from. Perhaps it was the inheritance of the Qin family.

However, that still did not alter the fact that the Chu family did not have one!

Even if the Chu family had an emperor weapon, they would never take it out and use it to pay the Black Moon Tower to capture someone.

"See, I already said that your Chu family couldn't afford it."

Wan Chang sighed. Looking at Chu Tianming, whose face was alternating between green and white and was about to explode in anger, he said, "Brother Chu, it's not that I want to embarrass you. It's just that the place where your grandson is right now is a little special."

"How special?"

Chu Tianming did not believe that there was anything that special which would require an emperor weapon to capture someone.

"There is no key to this ancient mystic realm. No one can enter unless they are at the peak of the truth realm and are protected by an emperor-level weapon," Wan Chang said calmly, "If we're asked to capture someone in such a special place, wouldn't the price of an emperor-level weapon be appropriate?"

"Forget it."

Chu Tianming sighed, and his face was dejected.

It seemed that ever since his third son, Chu Qiuluo, broke off his marriage engagement and went missing, the Chu family's situation had been getting worse and worse.

"Is there any news about Qiuluo?"

Wan Chang shook his head, "The Black Moon Tower also has no news about third young master."

Chu Tianming became momentarily silent, after which he sighed and left.

Wan Chang did not lie to Chu Tianming. Chu Yuan was indeed hiding in an ancient mystic realm.

Chu Xuan looked at the report and frowned. Was Chu Yuan hiding from other enemies, or was he hiding from the Chu family and Qin Keyun?

Since Chu Yuan was hiding and was in no danger of being caught, Chu Xuan could not be bothered to pay attention to him.

On the other hand, Chu Yun had already traveled to the territory of the Nine Swords Mountain.

The Nine Swords Mountain was a huge faction in the Southern Region which was no weaker than the Great Qian Dynasty.

It was one of the three sects of the Southern Region.

The two empires referred to the Great Qian Dynasty and the evil imperial court. In fact, the evil imperial court was different from a normal empire, though it was still considered one.

It was an empire of heretic cultivators.

The three sects were the Nine Swords Mountain, the number one sect in the Southern Region, the Heavenly Cauldron Mountain and the Floating Flower Pavilion.

The three sects and two empires represented the top forces in the Southern Region.

Chu Xuan was not worried about Chu Yun's safety. She was being secretly protected by a truth realm expert, as well as a wisp of his own emperor-level power.

After refining pills, Chu Yun's cultivation speed became extremely fast. She was already at the third level of the spirit realm.

She could already refine the void unity pill.

Her talent in refining pills was unexpectedly outstanding.

"Sir, Qin Keyun has annexed the Great Zhou Kingdom."

Su Xian'er sorted out the information sent over by the Black Moon Tower and picked out the ones that Chu Xuan would be interested in.

Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows. Qin Keyun's actions were very quick and decisive. She had already annexed the Great Zhou Kingdom. Next would be the Purple Moon Kingdom.

The forces in the Southern Region were about to undergo a major reshuffling.

In the end, the situation might change to one where there were three empires and three sects in the future.

The other weak sects and forces were not worth mentioning.

The Qin royal family's foundation was too weak, and there were too few experts. Up until now, apart from Qin Keyun, there wasn't even a single truth realm expert.

The strongest expert that returned from the Great Qian Dynasty was only at the ninth level of the unity realm.

Perhaps this was due to the Great Qian Dynasty deliberately suppressing their subordinate kingdoms, to the point that there were no truth realm experts.

If the Great Qin Dynasty relied on just Qin Keyun alone, she might not be able to defend such a huge territory.

Perhaps Qin Keyun would try to rope in some truth realm experts.

Over the course of the next month, other than the Chu family being in an increasingly awkward situation and feeling gloomy about it, the Great Qin Dynasty was expanding rapidly.

The Purple Moon Kingdom had surrendered.

The Great Yan Kingdom had surrendered.

In addition, during this month, three truth realm experts had appeared in the Qin royal family.

Just yesterday, a truth realm expert had appeared in the He family as well as another in the Zhao family.

It was not possible for them to raise their cultivations to the truth realm so quickly. It was not something that could be achieved by simply cultivating arduously. They had to have used some other method.

For example, instilling!

They would instill the enlightenment and power of the truth realm directly, and raise their cultivation to the truth realm, after which they would slowly allow them to consolidate their foundations.

Although cultivators who had their strength raised this way would be slightly weaker, they would still be bona fide truth realm cultivators. It would not be a problem for them to crush those in the unity realm.

Chu Tianming's roar could be heard from the ancestral mansion every now and then.

Chu Xuan was worried that this cheap grandpa would be so angry that his blood vessels would explode and cause him to die.

Chu Xuan was not surprised to see the Qin family cultivate a truth realm expert so quickly. After all, for ninth-level unity realm cultivators, as long as they had enough pills to break through the bottleneck, they would be able to do so within a short period of time.

Since Qin Keyun had appeared, the Qin family's foundation would naturally be fully unearthed and utilized.

However, Chu Xuan was surprised to find that the He and Zhao families also had truth realm experts.

In ancient times, the ancestors of the Chu, Zhao, and He families were the trusted aides of the Great Qin Emperor, and they were all quite powerful.

Perhaps all three families had some of their resources passed down?

Had Qin Keyun helped the Zhao and He families unearth their resources?

The strength of the three great families had almost been equal not too long ago, but now the Chu family was being left behind.

The expressions of everyone in the Chu family were ugly.

Chu Tianming's face was dark all day long.

Many people were blaming Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan's father, Chu Qiufeng, had already gone to hide somewhere in Chu County. He did not dare to stay in the ancestral residence.

Chu Tianming had already beaten him up a few times, so Chu Qiufeng had become afraid.

He felt wronged in his heart. His son had followed his third brother since he was young, and all of his abilities had been taught to his son by his third brother. How could Chu Tianming blame him for this?

He had no idea that his son would learn from his third brother and ruin his marriage engagement.

The Great Qin Dynasty had annexed many countries, and the Great Qian Dynasty had taken action as well, asking all of the countries to submit.

Soon, only an ungoverned region was left behind, which became the buffer zone between the Great Qin Dynasty and the Great Qian Dynasty. All of the other countries were annexed.

The Southern Region's factions had been reshuffled!

The Great Qin Dynasty had risen too quickly and lacked resources. After annexing such a large territory, it would be impossible for Qin Keyun to defend it all by herself.

Whether it was the Great Qian Dynasty or the evil imperial court, they all made some moves.

The heretic cultivators at the borders of the Great Qin Dynasty became more and more active.
